Mistakes and errors that we have made are problematic not just because they happened, but because of how our mind carries and reacts to them. And, if we carry them around long enough, they might become a spiritual blockage between God and us.

In this story of angels and shepherds, there is a phrase, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors!” But who, exactly, does God favor?

In John 13, Jesus teaches, “Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.” Jesus loved the disciples not because of their position, wealth, or what they could do for him, but simply because of their humanity itself and for their joyful life. This is the love that Jesus came to teach us…

Arguably, the very reason for the Divine Incarnation is that God desired to share the joy of God with all humans. The only challenge is, are we willing to accept it?

One key point in cultivating peace may be found in the word “justice.” Justice is often mentioned in the Old Testament as an attribute of God in the way that God always judges with fairness and mercy. So how would a human being cultivate justice?

There are many times in human history when certain things that most people believed to be impossible became possible while other possible things turned out to be impossible. The truth is that human beings are not capable of judging what is possible and what is impossible.
